Spiritual Warfare – new sermon series

aprilf — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:22:18 +0000

Each of us are constantly under attack from the evil one. It is time that we realize and acknowledge this and come together and battle these forces of hell. Jesus’ blood was shed for everyone, the testimony of Scripture is true, so for what are we waiting?! I yearn for our church family to be prepared to take on and defeat the enemy. This is the necessary first step for us to make an eternal and temporal impact in our community.

Join us for our new sermon series, Spiritual Warfare, on Sunday mornings during both worship services!

Bearings Class

Bearings Class

The goal of our Bearings Class is to give interested individuals the opportunity to spend time with our Lead Pastor and discover what we believe and what we expect of our members.

Though most who attend the class do become members, your attending the class does not mean that you have to become a member. You are welcome to come and ask questions in a no-pressure atmosphere.

This class will soon be available to complete at home via our pre-recorded videos which will be provided here on our website. Please feel free to contact the pastor or April in the church office for a hard copy of the accompanying workbook and spiritual journal. More information to come soon!

When you complete the class you can join or not join, but you will at the very least be better informed concerning the purpose and passion of the First Baptist Church of Emerson family!
